We would like to thank you with heartfelt appreciation for attending the Erin Leigh Boyle (ELB) Foundation’s Inaugural Fellowship Award Celebration on April 30^th!

The event was a joyful success as we celebrated the first of many annual ELB fellowship awards and paid tribute to Erin’s legacy.  During an exciting program filled with important guest speakers from Georgetown University and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the first ELB Fellowship was awarded to Aleisha Rosso, a family nurse practitioner from Flint, Michigan.  It is our belief that Aleisha embodies Erin’s legacy by supporting underserved populations and improving their access to high quality health care.  We can’t wait to share more about her story and future goals.

This first award, however, has only been made possible by your support and participation.  Because it is our goal to award an ELB Fellowship to one deserving recipient each year on May 1^st—Erin’s birthday—we welcome and appreciate your continued interest in and support of the ELB Foundation.

Please check back to stay up to date with all that our Inaugural Fellow, Aleisha Rosso, is doing along with all of the other happenings in the community and at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
